Using the 2000-2010 South Korean historical medical dramas Heo Jun (The Way of Medicine), Dae Jang Geum (Jewel in the Palace), and Jejoongwon (The Hospital) as case studies, this article examines televisual reimaginations of Korean medical modernity as (re)interpretative popular culture texts. Particularly in the areas of the anatomical sciences and surgery, modern medicine's emancipatory potentials in these productions are set semi-fictitiously in pre-modern Joseon historical contexts. Dramaturgically challenging entrenched social hierarchies and ossified cultural taboos of Institutionalized Confucianism, these dramas' progressive physician-protagonists emphasize the universality and impartiality of medical knowledge in what is herein termed as Generative Confucianism.
本文以 2000-2010 年韩国历史医学剧《医道》《大长今》和《济众院》为案例研究，探讨了韩国医学现代化在（再）阐释性大众文化文本中的电视想象。特别是在解剖科学和外科学领域，这些作品将现代医学的解放潜力半虚构地设定在朝鲜王朝的前现代历史背景中。这些戏剧在戏剧上挑战了根深蒂固的社会等级制度和制度化儒家文化的僵化文化禁忌，其进步的医生主角强调了医学知识的普遍性和公正性，本文称之为生成儒家。
